Vision Problem

It works flawlessly, except that the Hero's vision goes away in the time of next dusk. No idea why. He just goes blind. So, any idea why this happens or how to fix it?
(Yes, there are some leaks)

i read the triggers, but, unfortunately, i find nothing that could cause visibility loss on any time. Check the object manager or add the item ability that gives vision in the night to the hero.

I concur

If you cannot find the problem, re-create the trigger on another computer with world editor downloaded. Sometimes data gets screwed up causing glitches such as this. Good luck mate

I'll try to re-create the triggers on another computer then. Thanks.

EDIT: Darn, still doesn't work. I'll try the item ability now.
EDIT 2: Seriously, it does nothing as well. I don't know what to do. The system is fine.

I thought to myself, I could make a vision dummy of some sort after a hero revives. The dummy would be moved to the Hero's location every 0.01 seconds and have the vision I would like it to have. I suppose I need some help with making it multi-player compatible.

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out by looking at the triggers one more time. There was a "death detection dummy" with 5-second lifetime. After it dies, it creates the spirit, resurrects the hero with 0 health and so forward. So I tried to add a wait after the death and before the resurrection and spirit creation and it works perfectly. I suppose INSTANT revive after death made the vision to malfunction. No idea why at dusk though. So, it is now SOLVED. Thanks to crazyfanatic and Nighthawk for their efforts.
